Mexico Starts Moving Some Migrants to New Shelter

California assessing legal action against use of force on Mexico border

US Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that US authorities would continue to have a "robust" presence along the border and that they would prosecute anyone who damaged federal property or violated US sovereignty. Mud, lice infestations and respiratory infections are rampant.

Still, some of the migrants were reportedly wary of the Mexican government's efforts.

Earlier this week, Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum said that he can not continue to fund the shelters for migrants without federal support and that the city's 1.7 million residents will face increasing taxes in the future.

Marlen Gallegos, 48, told the Post that she was initially anxious by rumors floating around the sports complex that anyone who went to the new shelter would eventually be deported.

Magallanes said nobody would be forced to move to the new facility, a large building known as El Barretal that has been used for concerts and other events in the past.

But city officials planned to stop offering food and medical services at the Benito Juarez sports complex next to the border on Friday, and any migrants who stay will have to find their own food.

"It's as they said it would be", said Gallegos, who is from Honduras and planned to wait on her application for USA asylum from the new camp. Lazo told officials he had traveled with the migrant caravan through the risky parts of Mexico for safety, according to a press release.

Sunday's arrests were the tipping point of weeks of anticipation as thousands of migrants journeyed from Central America through Mexico in hopes of seeking asylum in the US. The complex was covered with mud with the storm.

Some migrants had found work near the sports complex and were unsure about moving to a place they did not know, though it meant they would have a roof over their heads.

Many plan to seek asylum in the US but may have to wait months because the USA government only processes about 100 of those cases a day at the San Ysidro border crossing in San Diego.

President Trump has threatened to shut the u-s border if Mexico does not deport those gathered in Tijuana.

About 1,500 migrants had arrived by midafternoon and everyone at the old shelter was expected to be transferred by the end of the day, Figueroa said.

Franklin Sasa, a 20-year-old bus dispatcher from Honduras who hopes to seek asylum in the US, said the previous shelter was a disaster.

Meanwhile, several migrants swam around or climbed over the border barrier overnight and were detained by USA officials.

On the USA side of the fence, shoppers streamed in and out of an outlet mall.

Officials say it appeared most of the rocks were thrown from the Mexico side and no one was charged on the USA side with assaulting the agents. A Mexican rescue team forcibly pulled him ashore and put him into an ambulance.
